Dystopian Wars: Februar Neuheiten
Warcradle haben die Neuheiten für Dystopian Wars für Februar bekanntgegeben.
The waters of the Dystopian Age grow dark, but not with evil. Instead, a shadow is cast across the waves as the mighty Avalon soars past, followed closely by the rest of its Battlefleet.
This box contains:
- 1 x Avalon Skyfortress
- 2 x Agincourt Cruisers (Each Cruiser can alternatively be built as either Athelstan or Hotspur Class)
- 4 x Excalibur Heavy Destroyers
- 2 x Morgana Submarines
- 2 x SRS Tokens
- 2 x Prydain War Rotor
- 2 x Tintagel Battle Rotor
- 4 x Saxon Scout Rotor
The Union and Alliance are also set to make a splash as the Columbia Battlefleet Set, a dual-faction Battlefleet, offers players of either faction a mighty vessel to return to the seas time and time again.
This box contains:
- 1x Columbia Heavy Battleship (can alternatively be built as USS Virginia or Monitor Class)
- 2x Ore War Cruisers (Each Cruiser can alternatively be built as either Gettysburg, Providence, Saratoga or Sumter Class)
- 4x Springfield Corvette
- 4x Escort
- 2x Talon Tokens
Cannons at the ready, or should that be ‘cannon’, as the Rikhter Battlefleet Set brings all the firepower the Commonwealth could need to pulverise their foes in one large weapon.
This box contains:
- 1x Dreadnought (can alternatively be built as either Rikhter, Moskva or Prezidium Class)
- 2x Cruisers (Each Cruiser can alternatively be built as either Kutsov, Norilsk, Oleg or Sineus Class)
- 4x Rurik Class Frigates

- 2x Hovercraft (Each Skycruiser can alternatively be built as either Yak or Giyena Class)

The only way to escape such devastation and enact a counterattack would be through teleportation. It seems the Sultanate are in luck as the Topkapi Battlefleet Set brings with it the ability to travel through portals to avoid and launch precise attacks.
This Box Contains:
- 1x Topkapi Class Battleship (can also be built as a Nemrut Class)
- 2x Portals
- 4x Ferik Escort Tokens
- 2x SRS Tokens

Seit der Übernahme gefallen mir die Designs immer weniger. Schade, denn das Setting fand ich ganz interessant.
Aber vielleicht taugen die Regeln ja jetzt etwas. Mir gehts wie dir. Ich hatte früher die Amerikaner bevor sie Steroide in ihre Schiffe gepumpt haben
Einige der neuen Designs gefallen mir ganz gut, wie bspw. die Sky Fortress das Briten, welche mal eine gute Evolution zum alten Dystopian Wars Design darstellt.
Aber es gibt auch einiges an Schatten. Die Preußen gefallen mir weiterhin nicht – und kommen auch hier nur in einem Repack daher. Und was sie aus den wunderschönen alten DW Osmanen in der neuen Inkarnation gemacht haben ist echt traurig. Deren alte Schiffe gehörten für mich damals zu den schönsten in der Range – und das neue Design kommt da leider nicht einmal ansatzweise ran.
Das die Preußen nur ein Repack sind ist falsch. Bei den Konrad Flugzeugträgern müsste man eigentlich blind sein um den Unterschied zum aktuellen Modell nicht zu sehen. Bei dem Blucher Kreuzer muss man schon genauer gucken, aber auch da sieht man leichte Überarbeitungen. Keine Revolution mehr eine Evolution. Aber der Rest ist Geschmackssache ich persönlich finde z.B. die aktuellen preußischen Luftschiffe schöner als die alten.
Crown und Imperium finde ich cool…mit dem System muss ich mich mal als Malprojekt mehr beschäftigen. Schiffe fehlen noch in meiner Vitrine
War leider nie meine Szenario. Ich hoffe Planetfall wird irgendwann wiederbelebt!
Die meisten Designs gefallen mir, aber das Flugschiff mit Bohrer ist etwas drüber. 😀
